building2 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I cannot get my digital outputs to work on my ServoDog. I have used this for servo control but never as digital outputs. I have 5 VDC at the output pin 2 on the output header but can't get the outputs to work. Can anyone provide some ideas where to look for a problem? Thanks.

k6ccc Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 What are you trying to drive with the digital outputs? Remember that the outputs are VERY low current. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k6ccc Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I looked it up. The digital outputs are good for only 24 MilliAmps. I am using one digital output currently. It drives a transistor which in turn drives a relay to turn on a 12V power supply that powers the lights for my flagpole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
building2 Posted October 14, 2015 Author Share Posted October 14, 2015 Solved my own problem. It was a stupid mistake on my part. I failed to configure it properly. FYI I'm using it to control a 12 VDC load through a relay. The relay is switched by a transistor. Thanks for the responses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k6ccc Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Sounds like you are doing the same thing I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
building2 Posted October 14, 2015 Author Share Posted October 14, 2015 I'm using relays to control a 12 VDC gear motor that will raise and lower a stage curtain for my animated Santa. Servos will control his mouth action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
